Video of my control problem. Any Suggestions?

(1/3) > >>

honkey:
I made a video with my iPhone of my problem with the buttons on my new arcade machine. I did check the NO/NC switches and my wires are hooked up to the NO. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?




I can make another video or take pictures of whatever might be helpful. Obviously the player one joystick needs to be fixed as it presses the switch that makes the character jump unless I hold the joystick down. Thanks for all the help everyone has been!

fallacy:
open up notpad. See which button is haveing the issue and which buttons work and go from there.

BobA:
Better yet use keyscan to see the keys that do not show up in notepad.   Available as a download from BYOAC.

I think he is referring to a dedicated machine.

Pics of the inside wiring would be a good start -- inside the control panel and the harnesses that plug into the gameboard.

Here is where you can get the manual, which includes description of the various tests, including switch tests.

Do you have a multimeter available to you ?

so the issue is the player two buttons aren't working?

i just sort of breezed through your other thread...I'm not sure about this particular board, but you may have a separate harness for the player 2 buttons. just be sure the wires aren't broken or tore off all the way along to the board and the plugs at the end are in place on the main board. be sure they are properly oriented and not plugged in backwards or something silly like that.

most likely (99%) just a slight wiring issue, but be aware, at absolute worst, you have a problem with the input register of the board. it would be best in that case to send it off for repair. (or mame the cabinet)

if the joystick seems to want to return to "center" but the center is slightly up, there is likely an issue with the spring or the collar that keeps the joystick centered.

depending on the style/brand/type of joystick your switches might have leafs on them that push the tiny button down to activate the switch, just bend it down a little. to give the actuator part of the stick some room to move before clicking the button.
